The growing population of Newham means that the number of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) has significantly increased.

Our School Model, launched in January 2023, has enabled us to be more visible in schools. 

We work in school hubs, covering geographical areas, supporting schools in ensuring OT is embedded into school programmes. 

Advice from an Occupational Therapist may help if a child or young person is having difficulty with functional tasks, which impact on their ability to participate and engage in school life.

Below are many resources available to SENCOs ,Teachers and Teaching Assistants.  

In order to make progress and succeed, skills need to be practiced daily in a setting that is familiar to the child or young person.
